It is an infantry unit, stationed in the Middle East, protecting the trade routes The do this through extended patrolling and garisonning strategic locations; fortified barracks in towns, and forts in the remote areas.

The Royal Tabnerian Rifles was initially raised as a single battalion in the UK and then deployed overseas. While in India a second battalion was raised of local Sikhs, renowned as soldiers for their courage and aggressiveness; a small detachment has been deployed a part of the first battalion in their current posting.

The 1st Battalion is commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel and there are 20 other officers. There are seventeen ordinary platoons of infantry, two platoons of mounted infantry and a reserve platoon. They are formed into 5 ordinary companies and one special company plus a detachment of Sikh troops from the 2nd (Sikh) Battalion.

UPDATE 27/04/07: In response to several reviews (especially those who ask questions but leave no way for me to send answers - twits!), I bought all of these parts legitimately on Bricklink over the past few years - right time, right place I suppose, with most of the parts being very cheap - I know that some of the parts had been got directly from Lego in Denmark by the Bricklink sellers whom I purchased them from - probably quite shadily. Currently I have just over 500 soldiers.

FURTHER UPDATE May 2007: I have created a new page for the army, with a similar name but using pics from MW'07. See: 1st Battalion, Royal Tabnerian Rifles (part 2).
